“My children are NOT part of a package deal & are not meant to be preyed on” WARNS Preity Zinta

The last few days have been not less than a roller-coaster ride for Bollywood actor Preity Zinta, who is now settled abroad with her husband Gene Goodenough. While on one hand, the ‘Dil Se’ actress had a time of her life after she visited the extremely serene Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati. The actress had even posted an endearing collage video of her visit to the temple. A few days ago, what had happened was that, one of the video ‘featuring’ her went viral. The said viral video had a wheelchair bound man trying to speak to Preity Zinta. Even though Preity Zinta said that she was getting late for a flight, the wheelchair bound man was seen going after Preity Zinta’s car whilst they were crossing the road.

Today, a few minutes later after Preity Zinta posted her video about the Kamakhya Temple, she took to social media and posted the viral video in which she is seen telling the wheelchair bound man “Sorry, flight lena hai mujhe”. Preity Zinta wrote a long post starting, “2 events this week have left me a bit shaken.1 regarding my daughter Gia-where a woman tried to take her photo. When we politely asked her not to she walked away, then suddenly scooped my daughter in her arms & planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth & ran off saying what a cute baby.This woman lives in an elite building & happened to be in the garden where my kids were playing.If I wasn’t a celebrity I probably would have reacted badly but kept my cool as I didn’t want to make a scene”.

She continued, “U can see the 2nd incident here.I had a plane to catch & this handicapped man kept trying to stop me.Over the years he has harassed me for money & I have given it to him when I could.This time when he asked for money I said sorry today I have no cash, just a credit card.The lady with me gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her cuz it wasn’t enough & started getting aggressive.As u can see he followed us for some time & got more aggressive.

Preity Zinta added, “The photographers found this incident funny. Instead of helping us they filmed & laughed. NO ONE told him not to follow the car or harass us as anyone could have gotten hurt. Had there been an accident, I would have been blamed.My being a celebrity would have been questioned. Bollywood would have been blamed & a lot of negativity would have spread. I think it’s high time people realise that I’m a human being first,then a mom & then a celebrity. I also don’t need to apologise for my success constantly & be bullied for it cuz I’ve worked very hard to get where I am”.

She also added that, “I have an equal right like anyone else in this country to live the way I want so please think before you judge & please stop blaming celebrities for everything.There are always 2 sides to a story. Most importantly my children are NOT part of a package deal & are not meant to be preyed on so please Leave my kids alone & don’t come to them for photos or touch/grab them. They are infants & need to be treated like infants,not celebrities. 

I sincerely hope that the photographers that ask us for photos,videos & sound bytes also have the grace,humanity & maturity to act & help in the future instead of filming & laughing cuz most of the time it’s not funny.”
